cyfi's "the end is nigh" terrain challenge
The gate is opened part 2
Now begins the most challenging part out the build, the gate.
As I mentioned I am useing a polymer clay, the one I have is flesh colour which might give @warzan a giggle when he sees two fleshy columns erected ?
I started by cutting two bamboo skewers to length against my image, you will notice that they’re left longer at the bottom. This will be pushed into the cemetery hill to anchor it down. Then the skewers are given a wrap of tinfoil, this will add bulk to the columns and mean that less clay is used and the thinner clay will back all the way through without the risk of burning the outside
useing some simple sculpting tools I added details then backed. Once cooled I test fitted then in ther final position.
i am going to use sanding and a blade to refine shape and add smaller details such as cracks and damage that in hindsight I maybe should have included in the first place before backing.
